Plus, save $2,000/year on your family's phone bill
Recession Risks Are Rising
These side gigs survive downturns
Recession chances are climbing. UBS, a global financial services firm, recently reported that the chances of a recession have increased to a 93% probability, based on hard data. While the investment firm isn’t yet forecasting a recession, UBS called the risk level "historically worrying."
A recession happens when there is a sustained decline in economic activity, typically over two or more quarters. This is often marked by a reduction in GDP, reduced consumer spending and rising unemployment.
There are some jobs that will always need to be done, no matter the state of the economy. So we put together a list of recession-proof side gigs that will help you weather a potential economic storm.

A new study from WhistleOut and Mint Mobile reveals that 42% of people using a major carrier have been blindsided this year by ever-increasing bills, but most consumers are unaware of cheaper plan options. For insights on how your family can potentially save $2,200 a year on phone service, see WhistleOut’s 2025 Cell Phone Plan Overspending Report.
